Candidates should have obtained their PhD degree not longer than 5 years ago.

Nutrition and lifestyle play an important role in the development, maintenance and decline of cognitive abilities. In this context, DietBB researches aspects of brain health in the fields of nutrition science, medical science, epidemiology, neuroeconomics and public health with interdisciplinary teams. The DietBB cluster comprises academic partners from the Agricultural Faculty, the Medical Faculty, the Natural Sciences Faculty and the Philosophical Faculty of Bonn University, the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE), the German Nutrition Society (DGE) and industrial partners. The network is located in the region of Bonn, Germany.
